Holmes, who i is serving as chairman of the central ! committee, said the subject was chos I en because of its timeliness in view j of the submission to the people o: the proposed constitutional amend I ment which would authorize the Gen- j oral Assembly to adopt improved | methods for taxing woodlands. I HOME GARDEN Th time is fast approaching: when we mu?t think of our garden. A good garden on every farm cannot be es tinrated in dollars. But it has been proven that an half acre in a car den is equal to two and a half acres of cotton yielding: one bal per acre. The money value of a garden is the lesst thing to be considered, the food value is the thine that we should consider the most important wh n making our farm plans for the year. The health o/ the family is the most important thing and to get this we must have plenty of good succu lent foocfc for table use. To produce succulent vegetables th garden should be well fertilized. Shallow, clean cultivation is very essential to successful gardening. If you have not plowed your gar de?' it should be the next piece of land to orepare. I am giving some of th* things you should plant in your garden next month. By the 15th of March you should plant onions, carrots, peas, parsnips, irisb potatoes, beets spinach, kale, radd:sh, and turnips. At the same trme sow in hot beds or in boxes, cabbage, lettuce and tomatoes. This will start your tarly spring garden. It is also one of the best moves that you can make on your live at home program. (let your garden started first and do not let your neighbor have things in his gar den that vou cannot have. H. \V. GRAY, County Agt. SID PENDLEY BUYS MURPHY SER.
